Visit Amsterdam

Today I am going to publish a letter about Golden Tulip Amsterdam Centre, a 4-star comfortable hotel in the center of Amsterdam.

“I have recently traveled to Amsterdam with my family and we had a lovely stay at the Golden Tulip Amsterdam Center. The strongest point of this comfortable Amsterdam hotel is undoubtedly its prime location in the center of everything: near Dam Square and Central Station, close to the area with shops and restaurants, within walking distance to Madame Tussauds and the Red Light District. There was a tram stop exactly round the corner from the Golden Tulip Amsterdam Center, so getting around the city was quick and cheap.

We settled in an Executive room. It was clean, and everything was in working order. Even though our room actually was too small for a family, it was very well planned so it looked spacious and cosy. The following amenities were available in our room: bath, shower, toilet, free coffee and tea making facilities, minibar, in-room personal safe, free wireless Internet, a trouser press, bath accessories and a daily newspaper.

There were two points about Golden Tulip Amsterdam Center which I would like to be changed: very loud air conditioner and no direct access to the microwave oven for guests, which made it very difficult to prepare food for our baby.

Buffet breakfast was not included in our room rate so we had to pay EUR 16.50 per person. It was very satisfying.

All in all, we had a pleasant stay in Golden Tulip Amsterdam Center and I think we will definitely stay here again if we turn out to be in Amsterdam again.”

Another letter about Amsterdam hotel.

“I and my 2 friends stayed in Mozart Hotel Amsterdam, a pleasant and cheap hotel in Amsterdam. The hotel is located in a very nice area with many bridges and historic buildings; it is close to the flower market and a busy square full of restaurants and cafes. Tram stop is nearby Mozart Hotel Amsterdam, so it was easy to get to any part of the city.

Mozart Hotel is a very cheap Amsterdam hotel, but we were pleasantly surprised by the quality of our room. During my previous trip I stayed in another Amsterdam hotel for similar price, so I expected similarly reasonable, but not very great, Amsterdam hotel. Surprisingly, our room was more spacious, cleaner and better furnished compared to my room in the previous hotel. And the canal view out of our window was one more bonus for us. Guests living on the other side of the hotel complained that it was too hot in their rooms, but it was much better on a canal-side of the hotel. We had all the facilities we needed for a short stay – wardrobe, LCD TV, night lamp, telephone. Beds were quite comfortable.

Breakfast was included and it was served between 07:00 and 10:00 in the sunny breakfast room, which was sometimes crowded. The continental breakfast was entirely adequate.

The staff of Mozart Hotel Amsterdam were competent and friendly. They even could book excursion for us.

Mozart Hotel Amsterdam was very good for the price we paid, so I think we will come back.”

One more letter from a person who was so kind to share his Amsterdam experience with us.

“We booked this Amsterdam Nes Hotel because of its convenient location and we were not disappointed in spite of the fact that we have read some not very positive reviews about this cheap Amsterdam hotel soon after booking a room there.

We traveled in a group of 14 ladies and we were served efficiently and with respect from the hotel staff of Hotel Nes Amsterdam. But we were unpleasantly surprised that the actual room price was slightly more expensive than quoted on the website where we booked this hotel in Amsterdam. Moreover, we had to pay a tax. As a result, we paid 180 Euros per night per room instead of quoted 160 euros per night per room.

Our room was very modest in terms of size, but it was perfectly clean, the bed was comfy and the bed linen was fresh and spotless. Our room overlooked the canal, so we had good views out of our large French windows. We couldn’t hear street noise as the windows were double-glazed and soundproof, so in spite of the hotel’s central location we had quiet nights.

Buffet breakfast was included in the room rate. It was served between 8am and 10 am in a dining room and included bread, rolls, cheese, ham, jam, boiled and scrambled eggs, range of cereals, fresh fruit, tea, coffee and so on. Those who preferred full English could get it for some extra charge.

There was a cosy lounge with fireplace area below the dining room. I guess it is very pleasant to relax there in a cold winter day…

It was my first trip to the capital of the Netherlands; I loved Amsterdam very much and hope to come back. Probably, I will choose cheap Amsterdam Hotel Nes again.”

Here is a letter that I have recently got from a traveler to Amsterdam. He shared his thoughts about Movenpick Hotel Amsterdam City Centre.

“Movenpick Hotel Amsterdam City Centre is a modern Amsterdam hotel located on the water’s edge adjacent to the new Muziekgebouw concert hall and the Cruise Passenger Terminal buildings. Despite its name, Movenpick Hotel Amsterdam City Centre is not right in the downtown area of Amsterdam, but very close to it. It wasn’t a big problem for me to get to the hotel from the Central Station where I actually arrived. I took a tram and it took me about 3 minutes to get to Movenpick Amsterdam Hotel. By the way, trams are great in Amsterdam – they run frequently and they are very fast, let alone they are cheap in comparison to local taxi rates. There was a tram stop right in front of the hotel, but I had to walk around the canal to get to hotel entrance.

My double room was on the eleventh floor, so I could enjoy spectacular views the busy harbor and the city. I suppose that rooms on the upper floors have even more striking views, so if you are not afraid of heights ask for rooms at the top of the building. A vast range of four-star amenities were available in the room: fridge, safe, free WiFi Internet access, minibar and satellite TV. There was a comfortable king-size bed and a spacious bathroom. Room service was very quick and efficient.
Don’t miss a chance to visit well-equipped gym and spa. Breakfast was not included and cost EUR 23.00 – it was a little expensive but very good.

Overall, it was a very nice stay and I would come back.”

Here is one more letter with Park Hotel Amsterdam review. Thanks to all those travelers who decided to share their thoughts and experiences about inexpensive Amsterdam hotels and budget Amsterdam accommodations.

“We have recently returned from a short stay at Park Hotel Amsterdam. The hotel’s location couldn’t be better – between the famous Leidseplein, the Museumplein and the luxury fashion district. Park Hotel Amsterdam is also adjacent to one of the many Amsterdam’s canals, so guests can go to romantic lunch and dinner cruises along the canal. There are also a lot of other options to dine out – hotel guests can enjoy food in a number of restaurants surrounding Park Hotel Amsterdam: Chinese, Indian, Thai, as well as MacDonald’s, Steak Houses and Hard Rock Cafe. There was no on-site dining in Park Hotel Amsterdam, other than snacks and room service because there was quite a bit of renovation going on and the hotel’s main restaurant was temporary closed. That’s why we preferred to dine outside. I guess, the renovation of Park Hotel Amsterdam has already finished by now.

By the way, I have heard that Park Hotel Amsterdam is a smoke-free hotel now. This means that it is prohibited to smoke in the hotel apartments and all public areas.

Our room was just perfect – tidy, modern, comfortable and functional. Beds and pillows were extremely comfy and clean. Our apartment wasn’t very spacious, but it looked very cosy. The rain shower was lovely.

Park Hotel Amsterdam was very easy to find. We got the train from the local airport to Zeud station and then tram 5 (8 stops from Zeud). We were advised not to take a taxi. Even though it takes only 20 minutes in a taxi, taxi fares are too high in Amsterdam.

We liked the hotel very much and would recommend it for tourists coming to Amsterdam.”
